Abstract

Objective To perform a direct measurement of Chinese processed bones and to record certain parameters of the femoral condyle for determining femoral condyle about whether there are differences in form. Methods The femurs provided by the Anatomy Department of Zhengzhou University were measured with a vernier caliper 111 (left side 64 and right 47). Results The average width of the femoral condyle was (7.79±0.56)cm on the left, (7.66±0.40)cm on the right (P>0.05). Relative value of the length of the medial condyle was (6.09±0.53)cm on the left and (5.97±0.41)cm on the right(P>0.05). The length of the lateral epicondyle (6.06±0.43)cm (left) and (6.00±0.41)cm (right)(P>0.05). Intercondylar width on the left was (1.92±0.24)cm and on the right (1.83±0.16)cm (P>0.05). Intercondylar depth was (2.94±0.25)cm on the left and (2.90±0.25)cm on the right (P>0.05). The difference of bilateral femoral condyles were not statistically significant. Conclusion The consistency of bilateral femoral condyle may be the design theory of total knee prosthesis, and the contralateral joint can be used to make patients before the template.
